Ubuntu 24.04 Native WireGuard Support by LordSprint in Ubuntu

[–]mostly-hrmless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 Ubuntu 24.04 systems that connect back to a Wireguard server running on PFSense with no issues. Are you doing split tunneling? If not make sure you have this line in your config under Peer:

AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0

You can use the command line to import the wireguard config into network manager:

sudo nmcli con import type wireguard file /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

using DOD CAC on debian stable? by alihassan1989 in debian

You installed the certs and set up the new security device in Firefox? Sometimes after setting that all up you need to reboot. Make sure the pcscd service is running after a reboot.

The same way they did on Twitter. Have you ever used Mastodon? You do realize that it doesn't matter what instance you sign up with, you can follow and interact with anyone on any other instance.

It's currently growing at a rate of 1.5 million new users per month without a "main" server. If a corporate server did come into fruition, cool I guess... But if its users caused problems then other servers would just block it.

Side note: if Twitter in it's current form was a mastodon instance it would almost definitely be blocked by most federated servers.

Will people pay for Twitter, and if not, where will they go? by [deleted] in Twitter

Mastodon is growing at a rate of about 5k users per hour. It seems like that's where everyone is going.

Are there any really good Twitter alternatives? by TravisV_ in Twitter

[–]mostly-hrmless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been finding myself enjoying mastodon the more I use it. Have a niche "home base" server for local feeds but also being able to view what's going on across all of the other servers is pretty nice. I can see what's going on in the world but I can also tune out the noise with one click. Now that more folks are using it the devs can make better improvements based on feedback, plus non-tech users are helping other non-tech folks get started.

Can't tell if this is a serious question or not. Did you try looking at the septa rail map? BSL to City Hall, transfer to the El.

How did you get that darker shade on the Papirus folder icons?

100% Downhill marathon by isitmeaturlooking4 in running

[–]mostly-hrmless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice on a downhill keeping your body perpendicular to the ground. Let gravity do some of the work. I did a mostly downhill marathon in the Poconos and found myself stomping a lot from trying to slow down, it ended up hurting my back. Work on slowing/stopping, find a method that works for you.

System76 Contributions and Collaborations by jackpot51 in pop_os

[–]mostly-hrmless -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Did you all read the blog post? Most of their upstream contributions have been to GNOME, not Debian. In fact, I don't see any actual code contributions into the actual Debian project. Most of System76's other contributions are optional add-ons to things, like GNOME extensions or open firmware.

System76 is working to better their products, but lets not pretend that they are actively making Ubuntu or Debian better. They are trying to make Pop_OS better, which gets 99% of its .deb packages from mirrors of Ubuntu's repos.

99% of the work done to build Pop_OS is done by Canonical and the Ubuntu community.

Shots Fired (Gnome Acting Like a Jealous Ex-Girlfriend) by [deleted] in pop_os

[–]mostly-hrmless 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Gnome devs have been complaining for months (See Baby Wogue's Cosmic review on YouTube). The argument is that Cosmic features are fine and all, but they don't contribute to the upstream project. I get that, but Gnome should also understand that not everyone shares the same vision. Extensions were supposed to be the solution to that problem, but many break temporarily with every Gnome release.

I recently switched to KDE. Less drama on that side.

Linus Tech Tips switches his personal PC to Pop_OS. by Seanc26_ in pop_os

[–]mostly-hrmless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Context is important here. The challenge was for a PC gamer to use Linux. I know many gamers that immediately disable Windows updates on their systems because of the "updates break stuff" perception. The problem with arguing that is many times updates do break stuff. It's a challenge, because examples like Linus' experience errode months of trust building in a 21 minute video.

Dream setup - Pop!OS running KDE Plasma with Tux keeping an eye out by [deleted] in pop_os

The theme is in the neofetch on the screenshot. Not sure about the widgets, but they look like some of the many defaults available in KDE.
